So, Tell Me a Story

Preaching & Worship

“In this beautiful and often profoundly moving collection of stories, Stephen Farris provides vital help for preachers in one of their most difficult tasks: engaging contemporary life through story. He has dug deeply into the narratives of his own life and ministry to teach readers how to find similar stories in theirs. Preachers will experience fresh joy and motivation to preach grace and hope, pointing to God at work in the church and world.”

The Making of a Battle Royal

History & Biography

“In The Making of a Battle Royal, Jeff Straub addresses a serious gap in the study of North American Baptist history. Until now, with a few notable exceptions, historians have tended to focus on the rise of fundamentalism while our understanding of the emerging thought and theology of Northern Baptist liberal/progressive academics has remained fragmented and in relative obscurity. With deftness, depth, and diligence, Straub takes his reader on a journey through the events and exchanges that established a liberal Baptist identity and facilitated the emergence of liberal Baptist hegemony. We owe Professor Straub our gratitude for bringing this history to light.”
